Survivors, families of the dead, emergency workers and dignitaries, including Prince William, attended a service at the 7/7 memorial in Hyde Park in the afternoon.

One of the survivors, Emma Craig, who was 14 years old when the train she was on was blown up at Aldgate station, gave an emotional reading at the service.

"All of us lost our innocence on that day, our naivety, the thought that something like that could never happen to me or even to London," she told the audience of around 400 people.
